Service pets and partygoers were on parade at the Harbert Center on Aug. 13 for Hand in Paw’s annual Picasso Pets art auction. The event was organized by Sponsorship Chairwoman Nancy S. Burton and featured food, music and more. Showcased in the live auction were pieces created by local artists who collaborated with the pets of prominent local figures to create one-of-a-kind artwork. Featured artists included Dr. Lindsey Petras, Bob McKenna, Ann Phillips, Leah Dodd, Linda Ellen Price and Beth Bradley. Other items up for auction include party packages, jewelry, vacations and dining experiences. Proceeds from the event benefit the organization’s efforts to improve human health through one-on-one interactions with trained therapy animals.
